About Chris

In the early 2000’s, Chris owned his own music store. When Napster hit, he had to get creative to make a living… so he decided to put a tattoo chair in his store. Unable to find anyone suitable to tattoo for him at his store, he decided to do it himself.

“After my first line of my first tattoo I knew that I had found my true calling. I closed the doors to the music store forever and focused on a tattoo shop.”

Chris owns Area 51 Tattoo, a tattoo shop opened by himself over twelve years ago in Springfield, Oregon. Area 51 Tattoo has since spread to multiple different locations. Chris 51 specializes in comic style and cartoon oriented tattoos.
